I pray that whomever this message is for, it reaches you and stirs up what needs to be changed and that the Holy Spirit may bring peace to you. Being a Child of God is already hard. I promise not to sugarcoat reality for you out of love. I’m here to keep it real with you, make you think and question the things around you. The goal is that you seek the Lord in everything! Something that completely baffles my mind… As Christians, we are constantly saying and singing about worthiness. These often can reflect how we don’t feel worthy. Yes, we are born sinners. We have all sinned and Christ forgives us if we repent and bring our sins to him.
Jesus Christ loves us and die for our sins not because we deserved it but because he loves us.
When you help and provide for your kids, when you do something for your spouse, a neighbor, a loved one, or a friend do you do it because they are worthy of it? Or do you do these acts of kindness because of the way you love them?
Let’s look at this from a different point of view for a moment. Let’s add the word worthiness to our day-to-day life. Take a moment and think about a little task. Walking up kissing your spouse, was he worthy of that? I mean he didn’t take the trash out last night, even though I did the dishes. Is my dog worthy of these new dog toys even though he ate my new rug? What about the promotion? Your raise? Think about these things with all of those minor details
Honestly, when you use the word like that it seems a little mundane.
( Mundane has 2-3 definitions.) The definition I am referring to is “of this earthy world rather than a heavenly or spiritual one” The Latin word Mundas, meaning “world” originally referred to things on earth. Earthly things were supposed to be uninteresting compared with the delights of heaven. Which is where the modern-day definition of the word comes from.
I feel like we do that a lot with Christ and the words we use for him vs the words we use here on earth to describe ourselves. We say you are worthy Lord, but then we may say I am not worthy of your grace. We say you are Holy Lord but we don’t use the word unholy to describe ourselves. When talking about and honoring God I don’t think the best way to describe his children whom he made by hand and made and their likeness (Genesis 1:26) to have Dominion over everything he created on the earth. If we are to be like him in our lives I don’t think using opposite words to describe ourselves is what he had in mind.
So if you don’t know yet, I love to get technical and break things ALL THE WAY DOWN! I like to understand the true meaning of what I'm saying. Especially when speaking English. The rules and the meaning are borrowed from so many different places that the meaning can be lost in translation. Let’s dive into the word Unworthy.
The definition- is not deserving effort, attention, or respect.
Having little value or merit
Lacking in excellence or value
If the power of life and death lies in our tongue (Proverbs 18:21) and Christ called us his and to be different from the world. Why then should we say when we are not worthy when we should know the power that he placed in us? This has nothing to do with ego. We must continue to humble ourselves before the Lord and remember being humble and unworthy are two different things.
Reading and understanding this word is why you can’t be singing and vibing to everybody’s songs. Christian or not, have discernment.If everything you sang was a prayer how would your life look? If we are supposed to pray without ceasing, do you think what you say and sing affects your life? If your tongue holds the power of life and death, what reality are you creating for yourself?
As a friend, I want you to win in life! I want you to prosper! I want you to walk in authority. This is why I will tell you things that may ruffle some feathers but it will get you thinking and questioning and taking everything back to God.
If God forgives us we are forgiven but we also have to remember we have to forgive ourselves. We often forget the second part and constantly will ask God to forgive something he has forgiven because we remembered it. Even though God has not changed. Just because you remembered it again does not change who God is and what he has already done. In those situations we need two remember his greatness and praise him not remember our weakness and ask him… “but do you really forgive me? Do you remember when I did X, Y, & Z.” If this is something you have a hard time with, then you need to bring this before our Lord in prayer.
I wrote a blog here that came to me while in my study time with God. It was a message about worthiness as well that the Lord downloaded into me.
If this relates to you I would like to pray with you.
Father, I call on your mighty name. I pray that whoever needed to read/ hear this message that it reaches and blesses them. Whoever struggles with feelings of being unworthy in their day-to-day life or with you Lord. I pray that those feelings are broken in your mighty name Jesus. I pray that you may open their eyes and soften their heart so they may be able to see who they are in your eyes and be able to feel the love, peace, and acceptance from you. Let them be to forgive others as well as themselves and not hold on to the hurt. Restore your sons and daughter. We are your children Lord. You said let us make male and female in our likeness and that is what you did. Give us discernment and the wisdom to use it so our tongue may not speak against your word and our feet will walk in alignment with your will. Let every ill, negative, or any words that have been spoken that goes against your will in our life be broken in your mighty name Jesus.
If this is for you come into agreement with this prayer
